Baking the scallops under a layer of toasty breadcrumbs adds delightful texture to this homey pasta dish.

words by Mackenzie Wise | photo by Jennifer Johnson | The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates that the United States imports more than ninety percent of its seafood. A significant amount of it is caught by American fishermen, exported overseas for processing, and imported back to the States for consumption. If it seems crazy and inefficient, that’s because it is. Here’s how one company is hoping to disrupt the seafood supply chain.

Having family and friends over for the holidays can definitely be stressful, so this year we’re making it easier on ourselves with a main dish of oven-baked risotto served with three sides to go with it—a fish, a meat, and a vegetable. That way there’s something for everyone (and it’s easier than you think to pull it all together). Once you make risotto this way, we’re certain you’ll never stand at the stove stirring it every five minutes again!

Quick and easy dinners are a must for busy lifestyles and around the holidays, everyone’s time is just that much shorter. We love stocking our pantry for great products that allow us to transform dinner is no time.
